Sixnet. All Rights Reserved. 12 All Sixnet units and user instrumentation loops may be powered from a single DC source. Refer to Figure 3-3 DC power connections to the VT-MIPM. The user DC power source must be in the range of 10 to 30 volts. 3.3 On-board I/O Overview The VT-MIPM comes with integrated discrete and analog I/O on board. Wiring for the available on-board I/O should be made based on the wiring diagram shown in Figure 3-3. A hardware summary for each of the available I/O is described below. Further details on the features available when using the on-board I/O can be found in the electronic help system in the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit. Discrete Inputs There are twelve discrete inputs in all models of the VT-MIPM. These inputs may be wired for sourcing or sinking by selecting the proper DI return jumper position in the base. An input count feature uses analog input registers to accumulate the positive transitions of each input. Positive DC voltage must be applied to an input to indicate an ON condition. All channels are referenced to a common return or supply, which is connected to the negative side (ground) or positive side (DC+) of the DC power source. One wire from each sourcing field input should be bussed together and connected to terminal 17 (DC +). One wire from each sinking field input should be bussed together and connected to terminal 18 (DC GND). Refer to the wiring diagram, Figure 3-3. Set the DI return jumper inside the wiring base to match the wiring configuration of the inputs (sinking or sourcing). Discrete Outputs Depending on your model of the VT-MIPM, there are either four or eight discrete outputs integrated into the unit. The discrete output channels each provide up to 1 Amp DC to power motor contactors, valves, and other loads. A single terminal is provided for each output channel. All outputs are powered from the DC power terminal. All channels are referenced to a common return, which is connected to the negative side (ground) of the DC power source. Analog Inputs There are either six or eight 4-20mA analog inputs on your VT-MIPM. These inputs provide 16 bits of resolution for precision analog measurements. A single input terminal is provided for each measurement channel. Care must be taken to externally provide a suitable instrumentation ground for these single ended input circuits. Precision 100 ohm current shunts beneath the hinged access door in the wiring base pass current and maintain loop integrity, even if the plug-in logic module is removed. Each analog channel has built in current protection circuitry, such that each channel open circuits before any circuit damage will occur. Analog Outputs The Mini-VersaTRAK mIPm model VT-MIPM-241 has two 4-20mA analog output channels, providing 16 bits of resolution at each channel.

All Rights Reserved. 16 Depending on the model of Mini VersaTRAK mIPm, there are either one or two RS485 ports available on the unit (See Figure 4-3 for location of these ports). The RS485 port establishes a (2-wire, half duplex only) connection to Sixnet’s RemoteTRAK I/O modules or other equipment. Four terminals (for signal GND, 485+, 485-, & termination) are provided for each available RS485 interface. Generally, you connect + to + and – to – between units. However, since there is no standard for RS485 terminal designations you may need to connect + to – and – to + in some cases. No damage will result if you connect incorrectly. It is highly recommended that you tie the signal ground to an appropriate ground (if available) between all RS485 units. Make sure to use a good quality communication cable with three conductors (twisted is preferred) plus a shield. To prevent ground loops, the shield should be connected to chassis ground on only one end of any cable run. Note: If you have existing wiring that has only two conductors and a shield, you can use the shield to connect the signal grounds between stations. This is not optimal (especially for long cable runs) but should work in most situations. RS485 Termination: The Mini VersaTRAK mIPm has RS485 termination components (150 ohm resistor and a 0.01 F capacitor connected in series) already inside for each RS485 port. To terminate your RS485 network just tie the “T” terminal to the RS485 ‘–‘ terminal. Make sure to use the same type and size conductor as used already used for your RS485 ‘–‘ connection. It is recommended that both end stations of your RS485 network be terminated. Avoid terminating more than two stations. Refer to the RemoteTRAK I/O User Manual on how to terminate a RemoteTRAK I/O Module. For 3rd party devices, please refer to their user manual for termination instructions. Bias Resistors: On a RS485 2-wire network, a pair of bias resistors (1K ohm typically) acting upon the transmit/receive wires may be required. If bias resistors are not present, the receive inputs on some RS485 devices may react to noise on the floating wires. The bias resistors will force the transmit/receive wires to a known (non-floating) state when none of the RS485 devices are transmitting data. Some RS485 devices have bias resistors built-in, and are enabled through DIP-switch or jumper settings. Make sure there is only one pair of bias resistors acting upon the network. Note: If your RS485 network is made up exclusively of Sixnet devices then these bias resistors are not necessary. Ethernet Port This port is a 10/100BaseTx auto-detecting and auto-crossover Ethernet port (see Figure 4-2 for RJ45 Pin locations). This means it will auto-detect the speed, and work with either a straight-thru or cross-wired Ethernet cable. A standard shielded RJ45 connector is provided. See the figures below for the pin-outs. This port has a fixed unique MAC address. The IP address can be set with the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit software. Refer to the electronic help for details. RS232 Port B Ethernet RJ45 RS485 Port C 1.

Diagnostic software, such as the Sixnet I/O Toolkit, can be used to display the status of the I/O registers. Refer to the software’s help system for details. 6.2 Power and Status LED The “PWR” LED on the VT-MIPM indicates its operational and power status: The VT-MIPM is operating properly. ON OFF There is no power to the VT-MIPM or service is required. Contact Sixnet technical support. FAST BLINK This may occur when the VT-MIPM is being reset, or firmware is to be downloaded from the I/O Tool Kit software. SLOW or PERIODIC BLINK This indicates that the internal watchdog has detected a problem. Try clearing the memory and reloading the project from the I/O Tool Kit. 6.3 Controller or RTU Memory The VT-MIPM has nonvolatile (battery-free) memory for storing configuration data from the I/O Toolkit utility. They also have battery-packed memory for storage of program variables and logged data. The battery is a rechargeable lithium cell that is kept fresh by the power circuitry in the VT-MIPM. The memory retention period for an unpowered VT-MIPM is at least 6 months at room temperature. The retention time will be shorter at higher temperatures. The life expectancy of the lithium battery is approximately 10 years or more. Sixnet, LLC Corporate Headquarters 331 Ushers Road, Ballston Lake, NY 12019 FLEXIBLE. RELIABLE. POWERFUL.
